SENIOR SALES MANAGER – ENTERPRISE BRANDS (German-speaking) Berlin, Germany · Hybrid · Full-time

ABOUT US

At The Global Talent Co., we connect talented professionals with leading technology and product companies across Europe — offering stable employment, competitive packages, and access to a global community of 25,000+ professionals.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Since 2014, this Berlin-based company has become Europe's go-to partner for custom-made premium signage — trusted by some of the most recognisable brands on the continent. Think global names in retail, automotive, luxury, hospitality, and tech. Their client list speaks for itself; their product is something people genuinely love working with.

They've spent over a decade building something rare: a high-quality product, a loyal enterprise client base, and an expert internal team that handles every project end-to-end once a deal is signed. Now they're growing their enterprise sales function — and this is a key hire

THE ROLE

You'll own the full enterprise sales cycle: identifying the right brand-side decision-makers, opening conversations, and closing strategic partnerships. Once a deal is done, an experienced internal team takes over delivery — so your focus stays firmly on building and converting pipeline.

This is a senior individual contributor role with real autonomy. You'll manage your own time, your own approach, and your own relationships — but you won't be doing it in isolation. You'll have the backing of a team that knows the product inside out and a founder-led culture that trusts people to get things done.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Identify, approach, and close high-value signage partnerships with major European brands
  • Build relationships at C-suite and senior marketing level across retail, luxury, hospitality, and tech
  • Brief internal teams clearly from day one — set expectations and act as the bridge between client needs and expert execution
  • Develop your understanding of each client's business to grow accounts over time
  • Represent the company at relevant trade shows and industry events — selectively and strategically

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 3+ years in B2B enterprise sales or key account management, with a track record in complex, high-value deals
  • Comfortable leading commercial conversations at CMO or CEO level
  • A proactive opener — you build your own pipeline rather than waiting for inbound
  • Commercially solid: you understand contract structures, margins, and procurement processes
  • Background in a marketing, creative, or brand agency is a strong advantage — you'll arrive with relevant relationships and fluency in brand language
  • Structured and CRM-disciplined — you keep your pipeline clean without being told to
  • Native-level German is essential for this role
  • Professional English

WHAT'S ON OFFER

  • Base Salary up to €90,000 depending on experience
  • Hybrid working from a great Berlin office
  • Genuine autonomy — you run your own desk, own your relationships, and are measured on outcomes
  • A young, international, and welcoming team with a flat hierarchy and a culture built on trust
  • The chance to sell a product that major European brands genuinely love — with an internal team handling all execution once you close
